THE TERRIBLE FLORIDA HOG.

Writing of the Florida hog the Palatka
(Florida) NeaUs says: We have seen his
long tusks divide a dog like sword-we
have seen q panther so terribly wounded
that the poor cat crept off in despair to die,
while the hog rocked not of flowing blood
from his own neckan shoulder, butproud-
ly challenged a renewal of the fight. At
Tocoi lately hog made it point to stand
on the track whenever he saw the locomo-
tive coming, and the considerate engineer
stopped for four successive days to drive
him off. At last, tired of humanity which
aroused no gratitude, the train hands as
sembled, by invitation, to see the hog de-
molished. He was on the track awaiting
his doom-and extra speed was drawn
from fat pine hurled into the furnace with
malice prepense. The hog raised his head
in surprise when no stop was made, and,
seeing his danger, started ata gallop down
the track. In vain the engine rushed for
ward with maddening speed till the coach
es rocked and ladies screamed in terror
when the train reached Palatka the hog
was sleisurely eating waste corn at Vertrees'
stable. That hog has since been struck by
Lightning, so that he is not for sale asa race
horse. s
On another occasion the writer of this
was sleeping in camp and around lay
pack of hounds who had often proved that
bear at bay brought no terror to their
hearts, and who carried scars honorably
earned in strife with the wildcat and PAN
ther. But number of these razor-backs
came around in the dead of night, and
when the dogs attempted to drive them off
they charged like warriors true and tried.
They swept off the dogs and charged over
the ehunters-blankets, guns, cooking uten-
sils and fishing-rods became things of the
past, and stout men took refuge in the boats.
Then, to save the dogs, revolvers entered
into the fray, and finally the fierce grunt-
ers moved off in. search OF pastures new.
With the early dawn came long, lean
man, who carried rifle as long as himself,
and he assessed the damages, which the
hogs should have paid, and carried off the
slain, which the victors did not want.

WHERE ARE THE MANLY BoYs?-Can
you find me in any of our great cities a
manly boy?
Ifso, he is an exception. Where are the
registering youths of our early days ?
Where are the boys who deied the police,
upset ash barrels, raced around the block,
played ball in defiance of authority, climb
ed trees, flew kites, played marbles, wres-
tied with each other by the hour, had
hearty appetites, red cheeks, sturdy mus
cles and dirty hands?
You can't find them.
There is no such thing in existence with
in the bounds OF any city. Your boys now
are milksops, with long tail coats and dude
collars that hold their chins in air, rings
on their fingers and jewels on their shirt
fronts, pale, weak eyed, puny listed, cigar
cite stinking machines. If in the very
heyday of youth, when red blood should
pump thro' their veins with the vigor of
an avalanche, if when sleep should be
sweet and restless occupation continuous
desire, they are tlabby muscled, feeble
kneed, listless as to manner, aping the
manners and fashions Of the vile, what
will they be when age settles upon them
and the duties Of life confront them? And
vet these are to be the husbands Of our
girls, these effeminate, pulling, monkey
fed babblings are to be the fathers of our
grandchildren, whose votes are to shape
the destinies of the republic, whose facul-
ties are to be the props of great enterprises
in years to come.-JOe HOlCard'S Letter.

UNDER THE WORLDS HEEL.-How
pathetic are the instances OF men who are
not only in mis- fortune, and who have lost
all they once held, but whose very names
are forgotten. I remember there was
conductor on the Eighth Avenue railroad,
who ran his car between the hours of II in
the night and II the following morning.
He was subject of so much talk among
the night editors of the morning papers
who rode upon his line that once went
over it at the request of one of them one
night just to see him. He was as fine and
aristocratic looking man as l have ever
for he could not be drawn into conversa-
tion. He did his work in quiet and re-
spectful way for year, and then disap-
peared, nobody knows where. In like
manner / have seen porters in big dry
goods houses, clerks and men in almost
every lowly walk of life, whose faces in
dicated history that was unmistakably
pathetic.
The waits of the street, the children of
the cutters, the unhappy little ones in
boarding houses and the outcasts of slums
are more to be envied than the gentle,
courteous and dependent old men. who
have been forced under by the iron heel Of
a world that thunders along at break
neck pace, and from which they try to
shield themselves by gentlepess that the
rushing world has not time to see.
The GIRL WHO HELPS MOTHER
There is girl, and 1 love to think on her
and talk of her, who comes in late when
there is company, who wears pretty lit
tie air of mingled responsibility and anx-
iety with her youth, whom the others seem
to depend on and look for many COM
forts. She is the girl who helps mother.
In her own home she is blessed little
saint and comforter. She takes unfinished
tasks from the tired, still fingers that fall
terat their work her strong figure is staff
upon which the gray-haired, Whitefaced
mother leans and is rested. She helps
mother with the spring sewing, with the
weeks mending, with cheerful conver-
sation and congenial companionship that
some girls do not think worth while vast
ing on only mother. And when there
comes the day when she must bend, as girls
must often bend, over the old wornout
body of her mother, lying unheedful in
her coffin, rough hands folded, her long
disquiet merged in rest, something very
sweet will be mingled with her loss, and
the girl who helped mother will find 9
benediction of peace upon her head and
in her heart. t.-Cdtadrine Cole.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME CAMPBELL
The Campbells, as are all the great nobility
of the three British kingdoms, are Of
French, Norman or French -Angevine
origin. The founder of the family was a
Beauchamp, Norman from Rouen, who
followed William the Conqueror, to whom
William gave large estates in England.
In the Thirteenth century it was customa-
ry among the nobility to give Latin names
to their estates. Beauchamp translated in
Latin makes Campo Bello; translated in
Saxon English it means Fairfield. So,
such is the origin of the Campbells.

CIVILIZING GSENEGAMBIA.-The French
are trying PLAUSIBLE scheme for rapidly
spreading civilization throughout their
great domains in Senegambia. They
argue that the quickest way to subdue the
country will be to educate the children OF
the chiefs. These children will some day
be persons of much influence, and the
French argue that if they can train their
minds and Undue them with right notions
of progress in their youth, they will, in
the future be splendid missionaries of civ
ilization. They have, therefore, establish
ed schools in the most important towns
from the ocean for distance of 600 to 700
miles inland, in which the children of the
chiefs are receiving instruction at the ex-
pense of the French government. Col. Gal
lieni, who organized these schools, says
he thinks they will prove the most power
full means of extending French influence.
No MORE WEEPING.--The glorified
weep no more, for all outward causes of
grief are gone. There are no broken
friendships nor blighted prospects in heav-
en-. Poverty, famine, peril, persecution
and SANDER are unknown there. Nopain
distresses; no thought of death or bereave-
ment saddens. They weep no more, for
they are perfectly sanctifed. No ''evil
heart of unbelief'' prompts them to depart
from the living God; they are without
fault before his throne, and are fully con-
formed to his image. Well may they
cease to mourn who have ceased to sin.
They weep no more, because all change is
past. They know that they are eternally
secure. Sin is shut out, and they are shut
in. They dwell within city which shall
never be stormed; they bask in a sun
from . tree which shall never wither.

The GIANTS CAUSEWAY.-The Giants
Causeway is series of columnar basaltic
rocks in County Antrim, on the northeast
coast of Ireland. For eight miles along
the coast the land abuts on the sea in cliffs
of basalt, many of them made up of
rude vertical columns, and the appearance
Of these columns from the sea suggests a
partial resemblance of architectural forms.
The name Giants Causeway is often ap-
piled to all this coast range of cliffs, but it
properly belongs to only a small part of it,
which is platform of basalt in closely
arranged columns-from fifteen to thirty
six feet high-which extends from steep
cliff down into the sea till it is lost below
low water mark. 1t is divided across its
breadth into three portions, the Little,
Middle and Grand Causeway, these being
separated from each other by dikes of
basalt. The columns are generally hex
agonal prisms, but they are also found of
five, seven, eight and nine sides, in al
most every instance being fitted together

SIlPERSTlTInNS AB0IIT BEES.

1t is amusing to note the superstitions
and fances concerning bees which have
existed at different times, some of which
still have their adherents in rural places.
There is in Lincolnshire, Essex and Corn
wall, in England, a superstition that bees
desert hive on the occasion of death in
the family, unless informed of it by rapping
on the hive. The belief that bees should
be wrapped in mourning is current in
Lincolnshire. In Northampton the en-
trance of bee into q cottage is deemed a
certain sign of death, and if a swarm of
bees alight on dead tree or dead branch
of a tree, there will be death within a
year. In Yorkshire there is custom of
inviting bees to the funeral. These were
doubtless originated from an observation
of the fact that bees are attracted by the
scent of the fresh varnish, working on
superstitious minds. 1t is said by some
that bees will never live in quarrelsome
family. What blessing if among bee
keepers such an idea would quell all rising
feelings of difference in the family:
Some think they will not thrive if stolen,
while in other places it is considered un-
lucky to purchase bees; that the only way
to get them is to have them given, catch
a wild swarm, or to steal them. Acting
on this silly superstition, we have known
good people to 60 to neighbor's house,
take hive of bees without his knowledge,
and leave in payment some other goods,
thinking that "ill luck" would follow
them if money be paid. In this supersti-
tion there is shade of truth. Among
such people bees are got from their nearest
neighbors in summer, when bees are flying
freely, and carried quietly home. Ofcourse
the old bees return to the old stand the
next day, and the removed hive is ''un-
lucky" because weak in bees for some
time until it can recuperate. If the colo
ny has already swarmed, as is often the
case, the remaining bees are too few to
build it up in good swarm that season.
The observation of results without a
knowledge Of the cause or the method of
preventing it gave rise to the superstition
in minds already inclined thereto. The
Georges of Virgil contain common super
stitions at that early period. This writer,
with others, attributes the virtue of "tang-
ing" to attract bees to qualities implanted
in them by Jupiter that distinguish them
from solitary bees and other insects. .-I'ev.

MOTHERS LAST LEssoN.-A mother
lay dying. Her little son not knowing of
the sorrow coming to him went, as was
his custom, to her chamber, saying:
"Please do teach me my verse, mamma,
and then kiss me, and bid me good night!
1 am very sleepy, but no one has heard me
say my prayers"
"Hush ~ said lady who was watching
beside her; "your dear mother is too i'll to
hear your prayer to night" and coming
forward, she sought gently to lead him
from the room.
Roger began to sob as if his heart would
break. 81 cannot 60 to bed without saying
my prayers-indeed, l cannot"
The ear of the dying mother caught the
sound. Although she had been insensible
to everything around her, the sob of her
darling aroused her from her stupor, and
turning to her friend she desired her to
bring her little son to her. Her request
was granted, and the child's golden hair

SoLACE FOR THE AGED.-One of the
laments of old age is that no new friend
ships are formed. 1t is a rather mournful
fact that most persons who pass fifty years
lose the gift of pleasing: The sparkling
eye, the merry laugh, the hearty speech,
the sympathetic manner are all gone, and
in place of these guarded bearing and a
sober habit of thought and Judgment.
Good-looking young people, with their
pleasant faces and enthusiasm, win friends
ooff:hand, but the saddened and mature
man gets more and more isolated. Those
of his own kind give only what they re-
ceive, and the young shrink from him.
He has lost the glow of youth and the con-
quering vivacity of youth. He estimates
the pursuit Of life with frigid skepticism,
and those who still delight to collect the
dust in the race course are offended at
him. He may be ever so just and kind, but
his exterior bears the scars of pain, and
the average man or woman instinctively
draws away from an invalid. If he be
wise he will fall back upon books and a
fishing rod in season and make friends in
heaven, for his chance of making any
down here is decidedly lender.-Ptts6ary

MANS REsPONSIBILITY.-N the ex-
tent of our sphere of duty, but the perfect
filling of that sphere, is the real measure OF
our merit and our need. Ones sphere of
duty exists because he exists it is an es-
sential part of his very being. AS ones
soul has its bodily limitations, SO also
the circumference of ones sphere is the
immediate Limitation Of his spiritual work
and influence. Not for the extent of that
sphere, then, but for the manner and per-
fectness of our filling of it, will God hold
us responsible. Our sphere is the gift of
God, as our life and our powers are his
gilt. This spiritual sphere, this limit, this
gift, is like the horizon which surrounds
us. Every one of US must have horizon
which surrounds us. Every one of us
must have q horizon whether he will or
not, albeit ones every movement affects
the form and breadth Of the horizon. Yet
there is no movement that one of us can
make which will annihilate his horizon or
permit him to step beyond and outside of
it. He is within that circle because he is
within it. No mans sphere, therefore, can
be too large for him perfectly to fill, nor
too small for the full sway of his powers.
His powers are the measure of his sphere; /;
and being so, his first and last duty is, day
by day, for larger or for smaller, perfectly
to fill that sphere.
